How analytics and AI are reshaping the boundaries of IT leadership
IT leadership is under more pressure than ever. As analytics and AI become embedded in everyday operations, expectations of CIOs are expanding, often without clear agreement on where IT leadership begins and ends. Many organizations assume that strong IT leadership will naturally extend to analytics and AI. In practice, that assumption no longer holds. The challenge is not that IT leadership has become less important, but that it is no longer sufficient on its own. To understand why, it helps to be clear about what has changed, what has not and where the boundaries of IT leadership now sit. What hasn’t changed about IT leadership At its core, IT leadership remains about the enablement and stewardship of the organization’s technology environment and capabilities. In practice, this has alway

Ran Qwen 3.5 27B via Ollama as a persistent background agent for 30 days. Not a demo. Honest results.
I wanted to know if a local LLM could handle recurring background tasks reliably over an extended period — not as a chatbot, but as a persistent worker that runs scheduled jobs, maintains context across sessions, and routes tool calls without human prompting. So I ran it for 30 days on real tasks from my actual workflow. Model: Qwen 3.5 27B via Ollama. Hardware: Mac with 32GB unified memory, but the architecture works on any machine that can run a 27B+ model locally. Setup Each agent runs in a persistent workspace with its own memory, skills, and MCP sidecars. The workspace structure separates human-authored instructions ( AGENTS.md ), model config and provider settings ( workspace.yaml ), modular capabilities ( skills/ ), and installed workspace apps ( apps/ ). Memory lives in a separate
p-e-w/gemma-4-E2B-it-heretic-ara: Gemma 4's defenses shredded by Heretic's new ARA method 90 minutes after the official release
Google's Gemma models have long been known for their strong "alignment" (censorship). I am happy to report that even the latest iteration, Gemma 4, is not immune to Heretic's new Arbitrary-Rank Ablation (ARA) method, which uses matrix optimization to suppress refusals. Here is the result: https://huggingface.co/p-e-w/gemma-4-E2B-it-heretic-ara And yes, it absolutely does work. It answers questions properly, few if any evasions as far as I can tell. And there is no obvious model damage either. What you need to reproduce (and, presumably, process the other models as well): git clone -b ara https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic.git cd heretic pip install . pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git heretic google/gemma-4-E2B-it From my limited experiments (hey, it's only been
